EPA approves Spokane air-rule updates
The EPA approved revisions to Washington’s State Implementation Plan (SIP) that incorporate updates from the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency (SRCAA). The updates revise SRCAA general air quality regulations — including source review permitting requirements — and apply to sources regulated under SRCAA’s jurisdiction.
Spokane businesses face updated permit rules
Businesses and industrial sources in Spokane that are regulated by SRCAA will be subject to updated pollution permitting and other general air-quality requirements; EPA is approving additional SRCAA updates promulgated since the 2021 comprehensive approval. These changes affect sources under SRCAA jurisdiction (for example, new source review permitting requirements identified in the SIP updates).
